Overview of Youth Development in Ghana COMMONWEALTH SECRETARIAT COMMONWEALTH Overview of Youth Development in Ghana Over the past two decades, Ghana has improved its social, Commonwealth Secretariat economic and political structures and reduced inequalities across its population. Nevertheless, a variety of socio- economic issues still have a particular impact on the youth demographic, including underemployment, a lack of access to quality education, poverty, crime, migration and low civic OVERVIEW OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA participation. As the majority of Ghana’s population is under the age of 25, improvements for this demographic have the potential to facilitate a more sustainable and resilient society long-term. This book presents pragmatic policy- and programme- related recommendations for how Ghana can move forward, mainstreaming youth issues in its development strategies. For each socio-economic issue, it provides a baseline evaluation that can inform revisions of current policies as well as support the creation of new policies to ensure future success in youth development.

ISBN (paperback): 978-1-84929-197-2 ISBN (e-book): 978-1-84859-989-5 iii Foreword by the Minister for Youth and Sports, Ghana Government recognises the growing potential of Ghanaian youth in our nation- building efforts, especially as we strive to pursue H.E. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s vision of a Ghana Beyond Aid. However, in view of the challenges and the incipient issues, as well as the growing needs and aspirations of Ghanaian youth in a lower-middle-income economy, it has become imperative to understand the current needs and experiences of this group. This is essential if we are to be able to design appropriate and responsive evidence-based interventions to improve the conditions of our youth. It is in this regard that the Ministry of Youth and Sports, through the National Youth Authority with funding and technical support from the Commonwealth Secretariat, has pioneered this first-ever comprehensive overview of youth development in Ghana. This report tracks the story of youth development in the country in greater detail, pointing to where progress is being made and the areas that require more attention and investment. In addition, this report represents a response to the urgent need to understand the everyday lives of young people in Ghana. In line with key development frameworks like the African Union’s Agenda 2063, it offers insights that can contribute to the transformation of Ghana’s youth population and subsequently allow the country to harness the demographic dividend concomitant with successful population transitions through childhood to adulthood, and to achieve the global 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Ultimately, the report presents a baseline evaluation or situational analysis that can inform revisions of current policies or support the creation of new policies on priority issues for youth development. Specifically, I am glad to note that the content of this report informed in large part the situational analysis chapter of the Reviewed National Youth Policy of Ghana (2021–2031). The Government of Ghana led by H.E. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is fully determined to ensure the comprehensive development of youth. This is being enabled through coordinated efforts to ensure that national development policies, programmes and projects across all sectors mainstream youth issues. This effort has been given special attention in the Government’s Medium-Term Development Framework – namely, the Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policies 2017–2024 as presented to Parliament and the Ghana Beyond Aid Charter. The aim is to ensure that the youth of the country are fully equipped with employable skills; to strengthen the link between education and the labour market; to build the capacity of youth to discover opportunities; and to bolster key national iv Overview of Youth Development in Ghana structures to bring up competent and responsible young people who enjoy moral and physical health and who are capable of integrating into the international youth arena and participating in global economic, political and humanitarian development. As the Ministry responsible for youth development, we have learnt through this report that social integration of young people with disabilities and other disadvantaged youth living in troubled families is still a very acute issue. The Ministry has recognised the importance of developing and effectively implementing policies aimed at improving the condition of these categories of young people. As such, a thematic area under the Reviewed National Youth Policy has been devoted to dealing with cross-cutting issues, with the appropriate policy objective and strategies to address youth needs. In this respect, this Overview of Youth Development in Ghana, initiated by the National Youth Authority and the Commonwealth Secretariat, makes a vital contribution to youth development programming, clarifying targets and directions in finding solutions to the various challenges confronting youth. It is worth reiterating that the publication of this report is very timely in the measure that it has given great inspiration to the content of the Reviewed National Youth Policy, which is in its final stages. The report contains a thorough analysis of the condition of Ghanaian youth based on statistical data and on the results of research. The Ministry of Youth and Sports agrees with the overall conclusions and recommendations of the report and considers them well founded and of undeniable practical interest to the work of Government. We would like to express our gratitude to the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, and also to the author of this report for preparing this very informative and up-to- date document on the state of Ghanaian youth. Hon. Mustapha Ussif Minister for Youth and Sports, Ghana v Statement by the Chief Executive Officer of the National Youth Authority, Ghana The 1992 Constitution of Ghana has the vision of building a fair and equitable society where every citizen has the opportunity to live a long, productive and meaningful life. The Constitution is therefore set up to protect the fundamental rights of all citizens, irrespective of age, to enable them to take an active part in national development. This aspiration is the bedrock of the directives and principles of state policy. Based on this vision, the Government has been pursuing socio-economic policies, programmes and projects in all sectors of the economy to advance the social, political and economic well-being of the people of Ghana. According to statistics, Ghana has made significant strides in terms of economic growth and improving the general living conditions of its citizens since the adoption of the Fourth Republican Constitution in 1992. There has been a significant reduction in poverty and employment, an improvement in school enrolment and progress with regard to infrastructure development, provision of utility services, health care delivery and social cohesion, among others. In spite of these remarkable achievements, there are obvious indications of impediments preventing youth from exploring their potential and contributing actively to the national development process. Currently, national statistics show that the average youth unemployment rate is 8 per cent. Out of the total youth population of 9,698,576 (34.2 per cent of the national population), 63.5 per cent are economically active and 36.6 per cent are not in the labour market. The statistics also show that about 80 per cent of economically active youth are engaged in the informal economy, specifically in vulnerable employment. Many of these youth do not have access to health care, in particular mental and reproductive health services. The participation of youth in governance, decision-making and community development leaves much to be desired, as a result of cultural and structural barriers in this regard. This has culminated in lack of patriotism, low engagement, timidity and inexperience in governance and community development among youth. Young women and youth with disabilities are challenged by discrimination and inequities in the system, which leave them exposed to abuses, vulnerabilities and exclusion in the socio-economic development processes of the country.

  • The Politics of Pay Reforms in Ghana
    Journal of African Political Economy & Development | Volume 1 | December 2016 ISSN: 2518-847X THE POLITICS OF PAY REFORMS IN GHANA Joseph R. A. Ayee1 Institute of Economic Affairs, Ghana Email: [email protected] Abstract Public sector pay is a major fiscal policy challenge in most African countries. Accordingly, countries have implemented various approaches to develop a realistic and acceptable pay policy. Ghana is no exception to the trend. Succeeding governments undertook without much progress pay reforms and reviews aimed at improving public service salaries and managing the recurring canker of disparities, inequities and imbalances in the pay administration system. As a contribution to the continued search for cogent reasons to explain the poor implementation of the Single Spine Pay Policy (SSPP), this paper adopts a political economy approach that shows sensitivity to the fact that the implementation of the SSPP is inherently complex and political; it is not just a technical exercise or a public service problem and therefore needs to be linked to the political objectives of the government, the interests of the groups affected, including those of the political elite and unions and associations as well as the prevailing political environment. The paper also discusses some of the policy and institutional framework deficits that have hampered the smooth implementation of the SSPP, which will need urgent attention by the government and other stakeholders, notwithstanding some of the gains made. Keywords: Ghana; Politics; Pay reforms; Single spine pay policy. 1. Introduction There seems to be a consensus that pay (salaries, allowances, in-kind and retirement benefits) is a key public service issue because adequate pay is crucial to sustaining motivation, performance and integrity of public servants.1 Public sector pay is also a major fiscal policy in most African countries.

Challenging Cultures of Innovation of Chinese and Nigerian migrant entrepreneurs in West Africa Dirk Kohnert1 Abstract: The remarkable influx of Chinese migrant entrepreneurs in different West African countries in recent years has been met with growing resistance by established local entrepreneurs. Whether the former have a competitive edge over the latter because of distinctive socio-cultural traits, or whether the Chinese supposed effectiveness is just a characteristic feature of any trading Diaspora, is open to question. This exploratory study of Chinese and Nigerian entrepreneurial migrants in Ghana and Benin tries to answer this question.

Ghana is yet to experience technological transformation to the level of other countries with which she was at par at the time of her independence. Gaps in understanding still remain in the Ghanaian experience in the development of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policy.

  • African Football Labor Migrants in Egypt
    School of Humanities and Social Sciences Molding and Moving Bodies in a Neoliberal World: African Football Labor Migrants in Egypt A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Egyptology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts In Sociology – Anthropology By Andrea Groves Under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Hill September 2011 Abstract Egypt has a large profitable football industry that increasingly attracts the attention of both football agents wanting to earn income from another market and sub-Saharan football players hoping to further a career by using Egypt as an intermediary between their home countries and Europe. The labor migration of sub-Saharan football players to Egypt has been enabled mainly by neoliberal, market-orientated changes adopted by FIFA, the CAF, the European Union, and the Egyptian football industry itself. Yet more importantly it is the individual actors that implement and take advantage of these hegemonic spheres of influence. This thesis explores how these individual actors and sub-Saharan football players have negotiated the neoliberal project. Specifically it shows the changes brought by localized mutations of neoliberalism as well as its continuities how they affect the ways in which sub-Saharan football players in Egypt move, work, and live. ii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my thesis advisor Professor Joseph Hill for listening, teaching, and advising me through out this research. I would not have been able to complete this thesis without his guidance. I would also like to thank Professor Mark Westmoreland for his enthusiasm, belief in this subject, and his honesty.
